Electron microprobe, laser...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $431,158 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Memphis. The grant, awarded on June 15, 2024, will support the acquisition of a micro X-ray fluorescence (μ-XRF) spectrometer for research and education in earth and environmental studies at the university. The μ-XRF instrument will be used to measure and map the spatial distribution of plant-essential nutrients, such as phosphorus, calcium, and potassium, in...
- The University of Tennessee received a $168,267 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on August 1, 2021 to complete the project by July 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Magmatic and Mechanical Extension of the Challenger Deep Forearc Segment: Insights into Subduction Initiation" under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated...
- This $169,286 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to fund a collaborative research project titled "A New Sanidine-Liquid Hygrometer: Experiments, Calibration and Applications." The project aims to calibrate a water-dependent geothermometer based on sanidine compositions, which can be used to determine the conditions of crystallization for important igneous...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $149,580 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on halogen behavior in the pluton-to-volcanic arc system. Over a three year period ending July 2025, researchers will measure halogen concentrations in intrusive and extrusive rock samples from the Sierra Nevada arc to characterize halogen composition and behavior within the arc magmatic system. Specific products...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $195,944 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Tennessee (UT) to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of the Tristan-Gough-Walvis Ridge hotspot system in the South Atlantic Ocean. The project will investigate the changing magmatic processes and interactions between the hotspot and overlying lithosphere during continental rifting and seafloor spreading through geochemical and geochronological...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $385,643 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College to investigate magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The 3-year research project will link field mapping, microstructural analysis, geochemistry, and geochronology to test competing models for how magmas form and are extracted from the deep roots of continental arcs. The...
